Neonatal Neurocritical Care Program
Neurologic diseases or injuries present at birth can have a lasting impact on your child’s growth and development. Early intervention is critical, as a baby’s brain has a remarkable ability to heal. The Neonatal Neurocritical Care Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia provides coordinated, ongoing care for infants who are born with or are at risk for neurologic disease, neurological damage or brain injury. We strive to maximize your child’s developmental potential by providing meticulous neurologic care and rehabilitation as early as possible.
